Julia Goodwin
Artist, Musician, and Writer in Syracuse, NY
Hi, I’m Julia Goodwin! I’m 20 years old, and currently a junior attending Syracuse University/studying jazz/commercial music! You can find me on my website (www.juliagoodwin.com), and through my social media! I use Instagram and twitter (@_juliagoodwin), as well as facebook (@JuliaGoodwinOfficial). I also have a CD titled “Feeling Good" where I perform "unplugged" versions of some of my favorite Great American Songbook standards. Make sure to be on the look- out for a single (one of my originals) coming out soon!
I was born and raised in Baldwinsville, NY and have always had a close relationship with my mom, dad, and younger sister, Sara. Growing up, I was involved with theater, played sports (lacrosse primarily), and I loved to write music. When I went to college, fitness and healthy eating became a huge part of my life as well. I love to cook, and have learned a ton about nutrition.
Singing has always been something I’ve loved forever. My dad and sister are both musicians as well, and I have vivid memories of singing/playing along to Billy Joel with them. I caught the “music bug” early on, and started working at a young age. Since then, I’ve been able to travel nationally/internationally singing, and have performed in some of my dream venues including Carnegie Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Rainbow Room, the Dolby Theater, and Radio City. I’ve been able to be on television, perform with symphonies/big bands, post singing videos for incredibly supportive online social media friends, and have met some wonderful people along the way.
My heart lies in Pop/R&B music, and my hope for the future is to become an artist in this track. Since I wrote my first song in 4grade, I knew I wanted to at least be a creative part of the musical making process somehow (songwriter, producer, etc…). Music has the ability to provide comfort, empowerment, and a sense of community. I love and genuinely care about people, and there is nothing better than seeing the connection music can make with individuals.
